Former Army Chief Bikram Singh, under whom the new Pakistan Army Chief Lt Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa has served on a UN assignment, tonight said India should be "careful" and watchful with regard to his approach.

Army officers have told NDTV that while there has been no ceasefire violation along the Line of Control in Kashmir some 48 hours after top Indian and Pak Army commanders spoke, it is too early to link it to de-escalation as there have been two more infiltration attempts since.

Deeply concerned over the "deterioration" in situation along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for restoration of stability in the region, saying that the world body supports "all efforts" to reach "durable" peace and security.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said the recent surgical strike across the Line of Control (LoC) has put forth the message that the government will not be aggressive, but at the same time will also not take things lying down.

India has issued a demarche to Pakistan on continued violation of ceasefire along the LoC and strongly condemned increased concentration of terrorists observed across the border in the vicinity of Pakistani forward posts.
